hi, i have 2 fulicas and i was wondering if anybody new how old they are? One is 6cm x 2.5cm and the other is 4.5cm x 2cm in shell length.
Are they old enough for egg laying and is their age to different for them to mate?

If I have to take a guess I would say about 6-9 months(both),in which case they are old enough to mate.

I have just been reading something on the intenet and it says that snails have to be 10cm + to lay eggs, is this true?  |
